Human resources are an asset, not a liability.
Solutions designed with your goals in mind, strategically aligning the human resources capabilities of your private equity owned firm to achieve the best possible outcomes.
How I Help
Strategy
In private equity held companies, it's all about the exit strategy. You may know your business priorities to maximize your exit but do you know your human resources priorities or how to align those to maximize and fuel your business? When done right and with intention, human resources can be a competitive advantage in positioning business for exit.
Due Diligence
The people matter as much as the other assets you acquire. Before making a decision, ensure that you know the leadership team and human resources function capabilities by performing a thorough human resources due diligence.
CEO Coaching
The CEO of a private equity held company has unique challenges and pressures. Expected to perform and achieve results quickly, make tough decisions and articulate strategy. An experienced, outside, confidant can support the CEO to perform optimally.
Leadership Team Assessment
Understanding your leadership teams’ strengths and development needs is critical. By using multiple tools, you gain an in depth understanding of what's working, what needs to be improved and competency gaps between where you are now and where you need to be at exit. Learn which leadership team members can grow and lead into the future and how to get them there with you.
Interim and Fractional CHRO
In between CHROs? Need senior level HR thinking but don't have the budget for full time? These are great reasons to hire a interim CHRO or a fractional (not full time) CHRO for weekly, monthly or quarterly retainers. I work with you to design the right amount of time for your needs and budget.
Head of HR Coaching
Have a great head of HR who needs some coaching in HR fundamentals or strategy? HR is a discipline that is learned over time and with good mentors and teachers. I have worked with and coached several human resources leaders to understand the fundamentals of HR and be a strategic business partner.
Human Resources Transformation
The human resources function can be a strategic advantage when positioning the company for sale. I will help you achieve this by assessing the human resources function capabilities, identifying gaps between the current state and desired state and creating a plan for closing those gaps. All with the goal in mind of professionalizing the human resources function as a strategic advantage to your business.
Integration
The first 100 days after acquiring a new company or an add on to an existing company are critical to long term success. Decisions need to be made about people changes and process and system improvements. Often these changes involve improving or changing programs, systems and processes. I ensure a well-executed human resources plan is implemented to ensure a smooth transition and accelerated growth.
Executive Search Coordination
Placing a CEO and other key leadership is the most important decision you make and a mistake on the CEO placement is costly and time consuming. Often the PE firm leads the search for a CEO, CFO and other key leadership for the portfolio company. I coordinate the process by ensuring all key stakeholder needs are aligned and reflected in the job spec, managing the interview process and feedback. This ensures a robust, thorough process is followed which expedites getting the right person in the role quickly.
